Beyond the Gods : Buddhist and Taoist Mysticism Hardback
by John Blofeld
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Hardback
Description
First published in 1974 Beyond the Gods argues that true mystics transcend religious boundaries, and that Eastern mysticism has increasing relevance for the troubled minds and spirits of the West.
Blofeld’s approach is a highly personal one based on encounters with monks, lamas, and recluses in their mountain retreats.
He also includes a vivid description of the Chinese religious scene and chapters on the mystical practices of Taoism, Ch’an (Zen) and the Tantric Buddhism of Tibet.
The book seeks to answer broader questions like – what has Eastern mysticism to offer the West, how can we free ourselves from the pressures of modern life or benefit from eastern methods of cultivating the sublime mystical experience?
This is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of Buddhism, Taoism, and religion in general.
